Maine 2015 Wildlife Action Plan Revision Report Date: January 13, 2016 Hydroptila parachelops (A Caddisfly) Priority 3 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) Class: Insecta (Insects) Order: Trichoptera (Caddisflies) Family: Hydroptilidae (Microcaddisflies) General comments: 2 global EOs (ME, PA) Species Conservation Range Maps for A Caddisfly: Town Map: Hydroptila parachelops_Towns.pdf Subwatershed Map: Hydroptila parachelops_HUC12.pdf SGCN Priority Ranking - Designation Criteria: Risk of Extirpation: NA State Special Concern or NMFS Species of Concern: Hydroptila parachelops is listed as a species of Special Concern in Maine. Recent Significant Declines: NA Regional Endemic: Hydroptila parachelops's global geographic range is at least 90% contained within the area defined by USFWS Region 5, the Canadian Maritime Provinces, and southeastern Quebec (south of the St. Lawrence River). Notes: 2 global EOs (ME, PA) High Regional Conservation Priority: NatureServe: Global Rank: G2 High Climate Change Vulnerability: NA Understudied rare taxa: Recently documented or poorly surveyed rare species for which risk of extirpation is potentially high (e.g. few known occurrences) but insufficient data exist to conclusively assess distribution and status. *criteria only qualifies for Priority 3 level SGCN* Notes: 2 global EOs (ME, PA) Historical: NA Culturally Significant: NA Professional Discretion: Current criteria ranked Hydroptila parachelops as SGCN priority 2, however, species should be SGCN priority 3 based on professional discretion.

Species Level Conservation Actions Assigned to A Caddisfly: No Species Specific Conservation Actions Currently Assigned to A Caddisfly or other Priority 3 SGCN. Guild Level Conservation Actions: This Species is currently not attributed to a guild. Broad Taxonomic Group Conservation Actions: Relevant conservation actions for this species are assigned within broader taxonomic groups in Maine's 2015 Wildlife Action Plan: Element 4, Table 4-1. Habitat Based Conservation Actions: Additional conservation actions that may benefit habitat(s) associated with this species can be found in Maine's 2015 Wildlife Action Plan: Element 4, Table 4-15. Click on the Habitat Grouping of interest to launch a habitat based report summarizing relevant conservation actions and associated SGCN. The Wildlife Action Plan was developed through a lengthy participatory process with state agencies, targeted conservation partners, and the general public. The Plan is non-regulatory. The species, stressors, and voluntary conservation actions identified in the Plan complement, but do not replace, existing work programs and priorities by state agencies and partners.
